A fine portrait, the  details and tones are wonderful.

A bit of narration or background would make it even more interesting.

Outstanding details! Well seen in B&W style.

Thank you all of you for interest here and comments,as you know from my work I have just few portrait in my portfolio and is not at all my usual subject.I met this exceptional priest in a celebration of a church and from the beginning I so how powerful his attitude is.I did not have a conversation with him but what can I say is that all round him was so peaceful,calm and a state of goodness enveloped me,even now looking to his portrait and I am really so content that I had the occasion for this.

Beautiful portrait uniquely composed.  Excellent work, Radu.

Hi Radu,

Technically spot on.

Aesthetically outstanding.

An excellent capture Radu. One of the most rewarding things about Photography is if the person you have photographed 'has' had an immediate 'effect' on you. I am happy to hear you felt a sense of Peace. You certainly have processed this image well.

Warmest regards, Gail

Impressive B&W portrait. You captured the venerable religious man so well! Great lighting and very sharp. Great work my friend.!

Take Care Radu.

Impressive and imposing!  BW and post process of a high standard.  Cheers!

Very nice portrait. The only thing I'd touch would be to make the face a little brighter and the white "robe" a little darker so it doesn't steal the sight :)

Alexander,thank you for your visit here and comment.I am glad you like this photo and I understand your opinion about to  bright the face,next time I will think to this.
